Cabin In The Woods director Drew Goddard is in the process of making a deal with to direct Sony’s Spider-Man spin-off, Sinister Six. He’s already writing the script for the film, so it makes sense that he would come on board to direct it as well. It was kind of expected. The guy did an amazing job with Cabin In The Woods, and I would love to see him take on a film that focuses on these villains.

The studio is looking to build up their own Marvel-style cinematic universe with all of these Spider-Man characters. It will basically be The Avengers of villains, consisting of Doctor Octopus, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, Sandman, and The Vulture. Those are the original villains. They could change things around, though, and swap out a couple for Lizard and Green Goblin. Many of these characters have been teased in the trailers for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Then, of course, there’s Venom, who is getting his own film that is currently being developed by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Ed Solomon.

Spider-Man has done very well for Sony, and they have to keep making movies or the rights to these characters will revert to Marvel. I wouldn’t care if that happened at all, but the studio obviously wants to hold on to them so that they can keep making their money.

There’s no word on when Sinister Six or Venom will be released, but it will most likely happen after Spider-Man 3, which is set for release on June 10th, 2016. I think it will happen before the fourth film, though, which will be released on May 4th, 2018.

It will be interesting to see how this movie comes together, and if Spider-Man will be involved with the story in any way. Goddard is a talented individual, and I have confidence that he’ll create some really special and cool for the fans.

Marvel has released a clip from James Gunn‘s Guardians of the Galaxy, followed by a promo real showing a montage of scenes from the amazing looking sci-fi adventure film. There’s some new footage for you to check out here, and the clip features an extended scene from the first part of the trailer in which Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) is caught by Korath (Djimon Hounsou) as he’s trying to steal some kind of ancient intergalactic artifact. We get to see how Star-Lord escapes this little awkward confrontation.

This movie looks ridiculously cool, and I’m so excited about seeing it when it’s released on August 1st, 2014. It’s so cool that we have another Marvel film to look forward to seeing this year! Thanks to MTV for the clip.

David Lowery in Talks to Direct PETE’S DRAGON Remake

Posted on by

http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/5344278ae4b072e71999c40d/1396975499135/?format=750w

Ain’t Them Bodies Saints director David Lowery already co-wrote the screenplay for Disney’s remake of Pete’s Dragon, and now he is in talks to direct the film as well. The 1977 original was a musical that followed an orphan on the run from his abusive adoptive family accompanied by his best friend, an invisible dragon named Elliot. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and it is nearly unwatchable as an adult, mostly because of the terrible animation and effects. That’s a shame, because it has some really great songs.

The new version, co-written by Tony Halbrooks, is expected to take a different tone and will not be a musical, which is a shame, because (again) the original had some really great songs. Lowery’s most recent feature, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, is maybe tonally a bit different than what you’d expect from a Disney movie, but it also features a man on the run. And his 2009 feature, St. Nick, is also a story of kids who’ve run away from away from home. So it seems like a theme he’s drawn to, which makes me really intrigued to see what he’ll bring to the table.

On the whole, I’m a little ambivalent about the project. Like I said, Pete’s Dragon is unwatchable now, and I’ve kind of been wishing for a remake, but the songs, and particularly Helen Reddy’s performance of them, are a thing I don’t want to lose. So here’s the deal, David Lowery, make your probably more realistic movie, but let Reddy sing “Candle on the Water” over the credits, and we can call it good.

Actors Who Could Replace Hugh Jackman as Wolverine Movie Wolverine

It’s really hard to imagine anyone other than Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine in the movies. He’s been playing the character for so long! It’s been 14 years since he was introduced in Bryan Singer‘s X-Men. The part was originally supposed to go to Russell Crowe, but he passed on it and told the studio to give it Jackman, so they did. The actor himself has said that his replacement is inevitable. As much as we love him as the character, he can’t keep it up forever.

“Look, that’s inevitable, man. Anyone who thinks they’re indispensable in this business is fooling themselves. But I feel unbelievably blessed to have this part. I never thought in a million years I’d get to play him seven times. Every day I walk on the set with the claws and the hair, I thank my lucky stars. I don’t take any of it for granted. To think that in a second version we’d have this cast and this director, and you guys don’t know the script, but I would say probably the best script of all of them, is pretty amazing. I think that’s why I’m still here. I’m sure by the way, that it won’t always be my decision to always be here. At some point, someone will close the door on me…”

So when the his time is up, who will replace him? It has got to be an actor who can at least sport the infamous hair look without looking ridiculous, and he has to be crazy fit. Jackman previously said Channing Tatum could “probably play him.” I don’t think Tatum could pull off that rugged Wolverine look though.

There’s always a chance that FOX could replace him with an unknown actor who can grow into the role as they keep making movies. That way they could get a great deal. If they do go with a known actor, there are a few out there that might be able to actually pull it off. Here are some I think might be decent choices.

http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/533f0aa0e4b0d420161dac64/1396640418004/?format=500w

Joel Edgerton – He’s got a burly tough guy look that would easily fit the part. He has what it takes to sport the look, and the guy has talent.

http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/533f0ab0e4b054d76357b919/1396640433291/?format=500w

Henry Cavill – Yeah, I know he already plays Superman, but if Chris Evans can play two Marvel characters, and Ryan Reynolds can play both DC and Marvel characters, then Cavill can play Wolverine, dammit
http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/533f3a61e4b0d84a3bd8869a/1396652641838/?format=500w

Luke Evans – Look at that picture and tell me he couldn’t play Wolverine.
http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/533f0ac3e4b077ee2ed67ae2/1396640452364/?format=500wSam Worthington – He’s not my favorite actor, but still one that I think could pull it off if cast.

http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/533f0acee4b09af66103721b/1396640463076/?format=500w
Gerard Butler – He might be an older choice for the part, but he could still kick some ass as the character. He’s already played some great, badass characters in his career, so I think a role like this would be easy for him

http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/533f0adee4b0d2725fecfa97/1396640479601/?format=500w

Charles Mesure – He also looks a bit older, and he’s the least known actor on the list, but just look at the guy! He’s been in TV shows – V, Desperate Housewives, and a bunch of other series.

What other actors do you think could be added to the list? Who would you like to see replace Jackman as Wolverine

If BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN vs. CAPTAIN AMERICA 3 Were a Boxing Match

Posted on by

http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/53444a1be4b0bc890d4851bb/1396984363651/?format=750w

Yesterday, Disney confirmed that Marvel’s Captain America 3 will be going directly up against Zack Snyder’s Batman Vs. Superman. The films are to be released the same day, and neither studio is showing any sign of backing down. In an interview with Bloomberg (via ComingSoon), Dan Fellman, president of domestic distribution for Warner Bros, stated that there are no plans to change the release date of the Man of Steel sequel:

“It doesn’t make a lot of sense for two huge superhero films to open on the same date but there is a lot of time between now and 5/6/16. However at this time, we are not considering a change of date for Batman vs. Superman.”

A lot can happen in two years. But for now, if these two films are gonna kick off the summer blockbusters of 2016, I think this showdown deserves a proper introduction.

Boxing Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the movie theater. It’s May 6th, 2016, and we have the summer’s main event.

Introducing first, from the Marvel/Disney corner, wearing red, white, and blue shorts… no wait, he’s putting on a new outfit — it’s a much more “stealth” outfit made of kevlar with only a few red accents… oh wait, no. He’s getting back into his old uniform now… from Brooklyn, NY, it’s Captain America!

In the Warner Bros/DC corner, wearing red shorts… no wait, he’s removing the red shorts. And he’s just… ummmm, leaving them off. He’s now explaining to the judges that the S on his chest is not actually an S, but a symbol that means “hope.” The judges seem unphased by his remarks. From the alien planet of Krypton, it’s Superman!

Let’s get ready to RUUUUUUMMMBLE!

Commentator 1 : This is quite the matchup. But there’s no doubt that, in terms of powers, Kal-El is the more naturally gifted opponent.

Commentator 2: True. But he hasn’t had a fight in 3 years. Captain Rogers has a lot of momentum going into this fight. After he and The Avengers pulled off the ultimate team-up back in 2012, he continued to get into the ring. He made a cameo appearance in Thor: The Dark World which pleased fans a lot. He had a record breaking box-office weekend for his second solo film. And let’s not even get into how he and The Avengers handled themselves against Ultron last year.

Commentator 1: Yes, it was amazing when he — Oh wait! What’s this?! A third challenger???

Commentator 2: It seems Batman is now getting into the ring and wants to go toe-to-toe with the Man of Steel. This is interesting, but one can’t help but assume that they’re gonna resolve their differences and team up at some point in this fight.

Commentator 1: If you look in the crowd you can see other members of the Justice League waiting to get into the ring as well. They’re wearing disguises, but they’re not fooling anyone.

Commentator 2: I’m sure we can expect to see them pop up toward the end of this showdown. Maybe not in a satisfying way, but surely they’ll do just enough to build anticipation for the next fight.

Commentator 1: I’m surprised anyone is in the crowd at all tonight. There were devastating casualties and an obscene amount of destruction the last time Superman got into a fight.

Commentator 2: Let’s hope Captain Rogers doesn’t get caught in one of Superman’s signature “headlocks.”

Commentator 1: The judges would surely deduct points for that move. But they have looked past the fact that Captain Rogers brought his shield into the ring, so who knows.

Commentator 2: Well, it’s the end of Round 1. We’ll be right back after a word from our sponsors.

Commentator 1: This fight is brought to you by your childhood. Your childhood self dreamed that these movies would be possible, and here they are.

Commentator 2: This fight is also sponsored by overpriced movie theater popcorn. Overpriced Movie Theater Popcorn, you’re stepping on it.

ASSASSIN’S CREED Movie Has New Writers

Posted on by

http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/53440c27e4b057b06886d3db/1396968496001/assassins-creed-movie-has-new-writers?format=1000w

Empire reports that there are new writers on board the upcoming movie adaptation of Ubisoft’s hit video game, Assassin’s Creed.

Michael Fassbender is still slated to produce and star in the film, however, it appears that the studio feels the need to bring in writers Bill Collage and Adam Cooper to weave the tale of the freerunning assassin.

The duo has previously written Accepted and New York Minute (that one starred Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen), and they got a story credit for Tower Heist. Not sounding so stellar, I know, but they have several higher profile, more prestigious films in the pipeline, including projects with Darren Aronofsky (The General) and Ridley Scott (Exodus). They’re also working on an adaptation of the novel Devil in the Grove, Jerry Bruckheimer’s Shake, and Luc Besson’s Transporter 4.

I am one who believes in the stigma associated with video games turned into movies. 90% just don’t seem to work. I love playing Assassins Creed, and I am a fan of Fassbender’s work. Hopefully the Cooper/Collage combo can bring an acceptable product for us to enjoy.

For right now the studio is still holding on to an August 2015 release date. Considering the fact that there is still no director attached to this film

Michael C. Hall Would Consider Playing DAREDEVIL in Netflix Series

Posted on by

http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/53442386e4b0769293c5afa2/1396974477051/?format=750wMarvel and Netflix were joining forces to bring Daredevil to the Netflix streaming lineup. I wasn’t really worried about the content of the show because we all know the hit that Fox took for their version of the blind lawyer with a darker side. I don’t think that Marvel will allow that to happen again. However, I was concerned with who they would cast as the lead role. I was hoping they would hire Lee Pace to fill the role. I know that they already have him in the Marvel Universe playing Ronan the Accuser in Guardians of the Galaxy, but a man can dream can’t he?!

Well, it looks like the people at Marvel have their eye on a much bigger fish. There have been rumors circulating that Marvel wants the one and only Michael C. Hall, aka Dexter Morgan, to take the job. Yesterday Vulture had a chance to ask the actor what he knows about the rumors. This is what he had to say:

Last night, at the premiere of Hall’s new Broadway venture The Realistic Joneses, we asked the actor about those juicy rumors. “I’ve heard them, but I think that’s all they are — rumors,” Hall said. “Don’t misunderstand, I would definitely consider it … but I can’t tell you any inside information, because I think they’re nothing but rumors.” With Dexter so recent in his rear view, would he really be open to returning to TV so quickly? “I really am enjoying mixing it up a little bit, and I’m committing to things that have a foreseeable end in sight when I start them,” admitted Hall, “but I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of [a new series] happening at some point. But I’d have to read the script!”

Hall has been very vocal about not wanting to do anything dark or anything that would keep him tied down for a long period of time. I guess being on Dexter for 8 seasons has left him feeling the need to spread his wings. I am glad that with a 13 episode season and some rather dark stuff that is inevitably going to come with playing Daredevil, Hall is still willing to think about starring. I hope they decide soon so they can start filming this summer as they had previously planned.

Radical Full Trailer for TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES!

Posted on by

The full trailer for Michael Bay and director Jonathan Liebesman‘s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been released, and the movie looks like it could actually be really fun. There’s still not enough footage to get me crazy excited for it, but it has some radical potential. I want to see the fighting style in action that has been compared to The Raid. This trailer doesn’t give us any of that, but the designs for the turtles look cool! The movie is obviously trying to appeal to both fans of the series and kids, only time will tell if they succeed or not.

“The city needs heroes. Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April and her wise-cracking cameraman Vern Fenwick to save the city and unravel Shredder’s diabolical plan.”

The movie comes out on August 8th!
